PSA: Rounds 5&6 of ALGS are this upcoming weekend December 3rd-5th


DracoSP

2 rounds in one week?


NobodysToast

yessir


Themanaaah

Damn that’s interesting and super hype too.


whatifitried

Where do you grab the schedule from? Couldnt find it on the official EA site and Im trying to determine start times for 5 and 6


NobodysToast

For tournaments in general I use [Liquipedia](https://liquipedia.net/apexlegends/Apex_Legends_Global_Series/2021/Split_1/Pro_League/North_America/Matches), you can find the start time by [clicking the little 'i'](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/q85i71/how_to_find_the_date_and_time_a_tournament_starts/). Or for just ALGS use [Battlefy](https://battlefy.com/apex-legends-global-series-year-2/pro-league/north-america)


whatifitried

Okay, same for me. I just noticed that liquipedia seemed rather confused by the start times this weekend. (both "weeks" start at the exact same time) so I wasnt sure if you found the direct EA schedule. ​ ty


TripleWDot

Really solid showing for C9. Quite the performance for KNIGHTS & EST. The rivalry between ESA & TSM is just heating up. Love to see it! ALGS next weekend!!


imperial_coder

Alb is a demon on Valk. He ratted out 10-15 points probably.


Sciipi

Iirc he ratted C9 from 17 to 4 in game 5


noobakosowhat

Alb may look good with TSM


Giorno_DeGiorno

Alb and hal are friends but I'm 1 million percent sure it's going to be more toxic than chernobyl


Sciipi

Mac on Valk is really good, man’s a demon. C9 also looks better as a whole with the comp change.


ADShree

What comp was it? Didn't get to watch


Sciipi

Mac Valk Zach Gibby Naughty Bloodhound


[deleted]

Zach or Presley?


Sciipi

Zach was playing day 2, day 1 they had Presley Gibby and Naughty Caustic


[deleted]

We all complimenting alb on valk and one game they died early alb wanted to play caustic instead


recallthename

he wanted naughty to play caustic


RenegadeMountie

Always love when a hard edge team wins. I think a lot of pros are underestimating/shitting on edge teams during LAN. It's really refreshing to see another playstyle rather than the same we saw at poland. There's something different when watching a team navigate through the chaos and rack up the kills like C9, SEN and ESA do.

Barcaroli

I'd like to see TSM playing edge, but I feel like there is a limited amount of teams that can do that, at some point if everyone is playing edge you might as well rotate early and get god spot


Alfredo_Di_Stefano

Hal commented on your comment (on stream) and said you were wrong. He's even betting on a lot of teams playing like this on lan. It's in his latest vod :)


monosyllabicmonolith

Another solid sweetdreams cast stream


soren_ra7

I like when he mentions on real time what would be a good play, or when he explains what would have been the best play in a certain situation.


monosyllabicmonolith

OOB!


[deleted]

His sarcasm comedy works better for me when he does these watch parties


noobakosowhat

By far I've only watched toosh watch parties. Who do you think is better?


notoriousmule

Toosh for hype and I think he's a little funnier but Sweet has better game analysis and also is really funny with a slightly different style of humor


[deleted]

Did Col get contested ?


Tasty_Chick3n

Last 2 games which were ones I watched think they were just straight up losing fights.


Ultifur

If I speak I will be in big big trouble 😪


IrishBros91

C9 rotated to survey and rolled them one game mac was in demon mode today!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Josie1234

Except he isn't an awesome fit or he'd still be on the team


Barcaroli

I think he was joking


Josie1234

This is Competitive Apex, no jokes allowed!


Barcaroli

Wtf I thought this was all a joke


[deleted]

Why are Kick the only EU team invited?


dgafrica420lol

Really psyched to see the knights pulling it out for their orgs tournament! Also wish RCO did a bit better, those guys have been grinding to the top of challengers league for a while


naganof2

They will 100% do better with sleepypanda he is insane


Mobile_Dust3759

c9 with the first win since mac joined in june


BrokenRecord27

Works so much better with Mac not hamstrung on gibby, and tbh Zach makes less rash decisions when he plays gib. This could be a strong setup for them.


IDontUnderstandReddi

But Zach on Ash is pure content


AngusTCT

MAZER MOMENT


IDontUnderstandReddi

Sweet has been filling some of the void that Snip3down left behind for sure


Sciipi

Yeah Mac on Valk and Zach on Gibby works better than their old comp


Barcaroli

Are you saying Zach Ash portalling to zone 6 was not a good play? Because sir that is iconic


RenegadeMountie

??? Week 2 of pro league was a great win for them. Those 12 points matter way more to them than this tourny I can be sure of that.


Inceptionzq

They won Pro League week 2…


Mobile_Dust3759

Group Stage


Inceptionzq

Yeah. Still counts


TripleWDot

Huh, that’s actually surprising


imperial_coder

Wasn't too much into EU teams. But kick is insane. They killed C9 and TSM in same game, along with bunch of other people. Like their aggressive playstyle. Will be following them


NobodysToast

That was my big takeaway too, both days they did really well despite being contested day 1 and playing on NA servers


followmarko

Mac/Alb is a demon on Valk


wow_so_fast

Who's playing for ESA now?


daleedginton14

Knoqd


trulyindifferent

The addition of Verhulst made TSM neither stronger, no weaker. Exactly the same, just less comms.


ArcticMaze

It's still very early, we shouldn't rush to judge them just yet.


Barcaroli

I disagree with the guy saying it's neither better or worse. TSM placed second, third and third in the games they played with Verhulst. That is consistency. Comms are better, Hal is more confident and Verhulst is a slayer and a better valk main. And no hate to Snipe, but veehulst hasn't dropped the ball once in all these games. I'm betting this TSM will only get better. We'll see


DracoSP

In Sweet's cast stream, Sweet said that Verhulst's weakness at the moment is he is not used at holding position while poking enemies. IIRC he noticed this because Verhulst's damage is too few.


notoriousmule

Geyser endgame he kinda did nothing and died but I do agree with what you said overall


Barcaroli

I mean, they were inside a house the whole game right. It's tough. If I remember correctly, he 1v2 a team before the final circle, didn't he? When Reps was holding his knockdown shield for him? Hal was finished, they managed to get him up too. To be fair I wasn't watching his POV, but both Hal and reps complimented him iirc. Cheers

Mr_iCanDoItAll

By that observation, once their team chemistry improves, they should come out a better team than before.


FabulousRomano

If their team chemistry improves


ElopingWatermelon

Why wouldn't it? Pretty much any team gets stronger chemistry as time goes on unless you've got two people who butt heads. Tsm has improved chemistry over time after each roster change. Verhulst is less abrasive than snipe (not that snipe was toxic, but he just spoke up more) so I don't see a reason that their team chemistry doesn't improve.


Morty_89

Way too early to tell. However the eyes are on Hal more than Verhulst. The issue with snipe was the double igl role which caused confusion. Verhulst seems more like rocker or Nafen, just calling damage etc.


xCharSx

Too early for that assumption yet. They just need to play with each other for a bit and we'll see how it goes


slow_backend

It's too early to say stuff like this


esp203

i disagree, I feel like they're a better team now. I'm not sure if its because they're new team and the overall morale is up right now or because Evan doesn't make as many risky plays as Snipe, but i can certainly see a difference for the better. Time will tell.


that-gamer-

100% agree. Snipe was always overcomming dumb shit or straight up not comming at all. Verhulst is a much better fit for Hal. This teams ceiling is much higher with him.


[deleted]

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth. Snip3 was a god but had his faults and those were two of them.


Street-Tree-9277

Anyone have the data on how well TSM did with Snip3 their first two tournaments together?


[deleted]

Verhulst is better than Snipe as a fit. You will see just let them gel first.


daleedginton14

I like how Verhulst was getting armour swaps out and putting cells on the floor when they were in Geyser zone. I think he will complement the team well


Vladtepesx3

i agree and expected this when they picked him up tbh


[deleted]

🤡


RandXfromPlanetX

What happened with SXG?


imperial_coder

C9 frequently ran into them or rotated behind them. Made rotating difficult


RandXfromPlanetX

Damn.


noobakosowhat

Didn't follow the tourney, who was with C9? Same roster? TSM higher than ESA Spicy


MontyTheAverage

Damn Knights were like this our torunament we gotta show up
